A MONGOLS associate is the third man to be arrested in connection with a robbery and assault at Richmond last month.

Detectives arrested two of the men on July 9 at a property at Glen Osmond.

A 32-year-old man, who police allege is a member of the Mongols Motorcycle Club, and a 39-year-old man, who police allege is an OMCG associate, were both charged with two counts of aggravated robbery, aggravated causing harm, aggravated blackmail and participating in a criminal organisation.

The latest arrest is a 42-year-old man from Munno Para, who police say is also a club associate, was arrested at Lockleys yesterday and charged with the same offences.

Police say on Sunday June, 29, the three suspects entered a warehouse and robbed and assaulted two men.

One suspect was armed with a metal pole and one of the victims received minor injuries to his back, abdomen and hand.

The men left with an amount of cash before blackmailing the victims.

The 42 year-old Munno Para man appeared in court yesterday and has been remanded in custody.
